That art style is immense... ...and it looks intense More details March 1st 2024 at the Inside Wicked Showcase.

Wayford has announced they are resuming development of a canceled Shantae game for the GBA, coming to... the GBA? https://wayforward.com/wayforward-announces-shantae-advance/

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown announced for Switch Now up on the main page. Overview and trailer. - - - - - I still remember playing the original Prince of Persia on the Sega Mega-CD many years ago... Then there was the Sands of Time reboot on the GameCube... And... various other reboots since then. This latest title seems to take the basic idea of the original, but with more of a focus on retaining some of the best bits of the modern games. Plus it seems to have more of a modern Metroidvania feel to it, rather than the deliberate, slow pace of the first game from decades ago.

Let's pretend this wasn't leaked to oblivion Looks like Xbox and Atlus are once again doing the weirdly ambiguous paid-for advertising where they pretend it's not on anything else. Got to imagine PlayStation is a lock too, but curious to see if this is coming to Switch? I haven't read much on whether or not the re-releases were successful on Switch (even if I'd bet they were), so Anyone want to shout up about money-hatting weirdness here? Please?

A new Wednesday, a new game announcement – and a pretty neat one at that! Here's a bit more of an overview from Modus Games:

Thought this was total Final Fantasy Tactics bait...but Vanillaware means otherwise! Also coming to other platforms (listed in the tags)

FREAKING FINALLY! I've waited so long for this

@Hero-of-Time go on and get in here, this thread's for you More details to come in Summer 2024, but for now, a word from Series Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto: Currently announced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC...all with Switch 2 details and potential compatibility pending, of course

Deserved a bit more attention than it got in the Showcase, but alas, another MGS Collection is on its way, starting with Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as part of Volume 1, releasing in Autumn 2023. No word on Volume 2 or what will come with it, but it sounds like it's very much in the works to release during the series' 35th anniversary celebrations: Well, MGS lives and breathes, and OG Snake Eater isn't getting buried below the remake either. Wonder how Kojima is going to be treated in the credits for this collection? Switch video:

Let's freakin' mosey! This does look like the Promised Land Seems to be a similar deal to the first game in that it will be a PS5 exclusive at launch. No details beyond that, though I imagine it'll be a similar deal to what we've seen with Remake, coming to PC after some time has passed. We'll wait and see about elsewhere I guess? In addition, the Remake project has also now been confirmed by Kitase to be a trilogy.

There it is!

Here we go! Announced at the PS5 September Showcase, being developed by Creative Business Unit III!

Finally officially official: Sorely needed gameplay imho. Would love to hear H-o-T's thoughts on this, because that trailer - especially after all the leaks! - just felt super flat.

It's officially official now that this game is coming to PS5, after weeks of rumours, speculation, and Bethesda LATAM totally not jumping the gun earlier today. Feels like it deserves it's own thread seeing as all the other Xbox titles announced as coming to other consoles today already do. Developed by Tango Gameworks, it was originally shadow dropped on Xbox and PC last year on 25th January following a Developer_Direct by Xbox, and was received really well – arguably one of the highlights of Xbox's output last year, and certainly the one to grab the most attention during end of year award discussions. Really looking forward to finally checking this out!

Announced at Summer Game Fest: Never heard of the manga before, but it looks like a typically jolly Toriyama time set against the backdrop of a Mad Max world. Love the vibe!

From Polygon: I don't know who decided to wake up at Konami over the last couple of years, but damn, this is shaping up to be one hell of a window we're in now for their back catalogue. Suikoden I + II, Silent Hill 2 Remake, Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, and now this all seemingly taking aim at 2024 releases, after recently releasing the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 (to mixed reception, but it's being patched, which is...something?). And a new announcement for another Carbon Engine collab with LRG a month and a half from now. Did we swap timelines?

What. The. Fuuuuuuuu— Aiming to "transcend the barrier between films and games" Columbia Pictures in the picture, too

The next entry to the series is to be released next year. No doubt you'll be picking it up, @Ike?

I've been following this game for a while now, but with yesterday's announcement from Tetsuya Fukuhara confirming that there plans are for both Relink and Versus (a fighting game) to each be released worldwide simultaneously, I finally decided to go ahead and make a thread dedicated to the game. I feel like the stage needs to be set regarding Granblue Fantasy, as it is a franchise currently only accessible in Japan, and so some here might not be familiar with the franchise, its importance, or success. Background A free-to-play turn-based JRPG developed and published by Cygames, Granblue Fantasy is playable on iOS, Android, and web browsers in Japan, releasing in March 2014. Here's a brief gameplay description from over on Wikipedia: Most notably, the game reunited legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu, renowned mostly for his work on Final Fantasy, with art director Hideo Minaba, also renowned for his work on Final Fantasy. The pair previously working together on Final Fantasy V (1992), Final Fantasy VI (1994), Final Fantasy IX (2000) and Lost Odyssey (2007), and in part thanks to their work on it, the game garnered a lot of attention. Uematsu worked on eleven tracks for the game -- which were accompanied by Tsutomu Narita's nine tracks (he was the composer for Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, and also worked in the music department on Xenoblade Chronicles) -- and it is believed that Minaba drew nearly one hundred potential character designs for the game. To give you a taste of the game's gorgeous soundtrack (at least judging from what I've listened to so far), here's the main theme: To speak to the game's success, it has been a commercial juggernaut in Japan, having been downloaded over 10 million times two years after its release in March 2016, and had been downloaded over 22 million times as of October 2018. Thanks to its implementation of a gacha system seen in many other successful mobile games in the Japanese marketplace, such as in Fire Emblem Heroes, the game grossed at least ¥54.8 billion ($489 million) in Japan between 2017 and 2018. Outside of its commercial success, though, it has all been received very positively by critics, with many journalists comparing it favourably to early Final Fantasy entries. Project Re:Link Originally announced as Granblue Fantasy Project Re:Link back in August 2016, the game was revealed to be an action RPG serving as a collaboration between PlatinumGames (Bayonetta franchise, NieR: Automata) and Cygames (who would also be serving as the game's publisher), with Nobuo Uematsu and Hideo Minaba reprising their roles as composer and art director, respectively, and the aforementioned Tetsuya Fukuhara set to direct. The game will be set in the same fictional realm as Granblue Fantasy, with some characters from the original game appearing, but in an entirely different location. One month later, in September, it was revealed that Cygames were aiming to release the game on the PS4 -- and that was the first and last time we heard about what consoles the game was aiming to be released on. It was at this point that they also mentioned that they were aiming to connect the mobile game and PlayStation 4 game, with each unlocking special events/items in the other. The first gameplay trailer was shown in December 2017, during Granblue Fes 2017, which was shortly after I learned about the game. And it looked great: Around this time, director Tetsuya Fukuhara also revealed some gameplay details, the most interesting of which undoubtedly being that the game could be played in four-person cooperative multiplayer, or enjoyed as a single player experience, with three remaining characters being controlled by AI. Localisation for the game in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian were announced in July 2018. Its official title was revealed to be Granblue Fantasy: Relink in December 2018 during Granblue Fes 2018, where another gameplay trailer was shown, which continues to look incredible: As of February 4th 2019, PlatinumGames left development of the project -- supposedly, they were unsurprisingly contracted for the action elements of the game, and it is believed that their contract was complete -- leaving Cygames to complete development on the game. As of yesterday -- February 26th 2019, at the time of writing -- after the game's delay from its initial target of a 2018 release, director Fukuhara announced that the game was aiming for a simultaneous worldwide release, and that they would not be revealing further details on a release date until they were comfortable to do so. Hopefully I've been able to bring the game to the attention of some of the JRPG and/or Platinum fans here, as I really do think that its one to keep an eye on!

One of the surprises of today's Showcase for me, nervous about not being familiar with the developer, but felt this has the best showing of anything in the Showcase: I am so in

Yes!

Let's pretend we had no idea that this was happening because NetherRealm seem to want to challenge Ubisoft for the title of Leakiest (totally a word) Ship™ Turning into a great year for the big-hitting fighting games, between this, Street Fighter 6, and Tekken 8 being scheduled for later this year/early next!

Being made by developer Illfonic (makers of Friday the 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds) and due to be released at the end of this year for PC (Epic Store exclusive), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

Looks like an inFamous First Light/ Uncharted: The Lost Legacy situation.
